Muslims protest against film

[Ignis Fatuus]

What's with these nuts who go out and kill for their god? Is he just too busy to do it himself or what?

I've noticed the media refer to it as 'the film that offends muslims'. Is that it's official title?

If not, surely that's the perfect name for a spoof.

I particularly like the idea of our suicide bomber hero arriving in heaven to be met by 72 virgins, who turn out to be the last 72 desperate teenage boys who blew themselves up without ever getting laid.

It might be interesting to reflect on the question: Is there any cause or principle which you personally would kill or inflict violence for?

Look at an Old Firm game and you'll certainly see many enlightened white Westerners feel that violence to defend the name of their religion is justified.

As the great lizard from the sky once observed, after 1300 years religions seem to go mad for a while.

When was there last any tribal violence at an old firm game ?

I remember once talking to some mad Rangers fan who was explaining to me about his 'religious beliefs'. he explained that he was a member of the orange lodge, played a drum in an orange band, threw heavy objects at the Hibernian walk in Coatbridge etc etc etc.

I asked him if he attended church, to which he replied "No, I'm not a f***in' fanatic !!"

I doubt most arabs would care.

Though they might get a bit upset if atw had a sofa accident and was the last to arrive.

Hadn't heard that but if so its an excellent social comment, puts some of the gibberish used by vile sicko's who send innocents and the mentally impaired to their deaths in perspective.

Depends if you mean in the ground, or in the streets before/after? It was only one example, the resident Scots can correct me if Celtic/Rangers fans now shake hands and meet up over a beer afterwards rather than sending death threats.

And to clarify by 'religion' I meant the team allegiance.

I'm sure they don't meet up for handshakes and beer en masse but proper football violence is a thing of the past (the distant past). There will, I assume, be isolated cases, but probably no more than in Manchester, London etc. Proper football related pitch battles died out in the 70s in Scotland. Casuals in the 80's for example, involved much smaller numbers.
